Happy’s Place has changed casting before a character’s arrival on the NBC series. Emma Kenney (The Conners, above) is joining the series as the daughter of Reba McEntire’s character, Bobbie. She is replacing the previously cast Elizabeth Alderfer.
McEntire, Belissa Escobedo, Melissa Peterman, Pablo Castelblanco, Tokala Black Elk, and Rex Linn star in the sitcom, which follows a woman (McEntire) who has inherited her father’s bar after his death only to learn she is now running it with a half-sister (Escobedo) she never knew she had.
Gracie McAllister (Kenney) will first be seen in the January 10th episode of the NBC sitcom, according to TV Line. Her character is tough (like her mother), serving in the military, and has been deployed overseas. She has just gone on leave and is returning home to Knoxville to visit her mother.
Happy’s Place airs on Friday nights on NBC. The series returns from a holiday hiatus on January 3rd.
